University of South Florida NCAA News

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida -- Almost immediately, Joe Nevins knew something was wrong.

Time's running out for the USF baseball team to improve their at-large candidacy for the NCAA Tournament.

Instead, he got a locker right across from Bailey when he arrived at the team's Dove Valley complex for a three-day rookie camp.

USF football has officially announced a home-and-home series with Florida State , for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

ESPN's Joe Schad says Wes Lunt has narrowed his list to five schools, and is "very likely to choose one of the five schools and not expand his search." Those schools are Illinois, Louisville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Southern Miss.

USF Softball goes to Gainesville for the NCAA Tournament. Here's a look at their competition in the Gainesville Regional.

It took 10 innings, but the University of South Florida softball team won its first Big East tournament championship on Saturday, edging top-seeded Notre Dame 1-0. Pitching was the headline going into the game, with USF's Sara Nevins - the Big East Pitcher of the Year - going against Notre Dame's Laura Winter - the Big East Player of the Year.

Nate Montana and seventh-round pick B.J. Daniels of South Florida squared off in a quarterback exhibition during the 49ers' second-day of rookie minicamp.

B.J. Daniels led South Florida to an upset of No. 18 Florida State as an 18-year-old freshman.

B.J Daniels never played any position but quarterback at South Florida. Quarterbacks, however, are nothing if not studious and prepared.

On the eve of their rookie minicamp, the 49ers have struck deals with four of their draft picks with several more on their way.

Unlike the other transfer quarterbacks on the market, Lunt can't help USF this year, which makes it a long shot that he ends up in Tampa.

They are bringing in defensive end Nigel Nicholas from Oklahoma State, receiver Rashad Ross from Arizona State and linebackers Jonathan Willard from Clemson and Tom Wort from Oklahoma.

Nobody was worse than USF at picking off the ball last season. So new USF defensive backs coach Ron Cooper is not exactly going out on a limb when he says, "We're going to have a few more than two interceptions this year." USF better have more than two this season if the Bulls are going to get themselves back to respectability.

After taking last week off for exams, the USF softball team will host the Big East Tournament at the USF Softball Stadium in Tampa.

For the University of South Florida softball team, there's a clear goal. The Bulls want a return to the Women's College World Series and another shot at the national championship.

Former Arkansas QB/WR Brandon Mitchell is transferring and has USF on his list of possible destinations.

We read all the mock drafts and scouting books and various reports on this prospect or that.

JC point guard Corey Allen Jr. has signed with USF . Coach Heath describes him as a "combo guard who can make a lot of plays - both scoring the ball and being able to find guys with his passing ability." Hopefully that means he can give Anthony Collins a rest at the point.

Alex Mendez sent Friday's game into extra innings with a two-run double in the 9th.
